He doesn't love me.
Our relationship wasn't supposed to have strings.
Now he's almost all I think about.
He changed everything.
I'm not ready to tell him.
There's a chance he'll blame me when I do.
I don't know if I can trust him but I'm afraid to face the future alone.
Will he ever love me, or will he always love me not?
Our relationship wasn't supposed to have strings.
Now he's almost all I think about.
He changed everything.
I'm not ready to tell him.
There's a chance he'll blame me when I do.
I don't know if I can trust him but I'm afraid to face the future alone.
Will he ever love me, or will he always love me not?
Before I can stop myself, I reach up and trace his lips with my finger.
Neither of us speaks. We both just stand there and stare at each other.
The next second I’m in his arms, and his lips are on mine. His hands are in my hair and mine are up the back of his shirt.
This isn’t a kiss, it’s a wild fire.
I’m engulfed by it, the heat of his lips against mine, and the flame’s lick of his tongue.
I’ve dreamt of this kiss since I was fifteen years old. Even my wildest dreams did not touch the passion of this one. When his mom moved away not long after he left town for college, I was sure this kiss would never happen.
I’m not the type to pine over a boy I didn’t think I’d ever see again. I got over my crush on him. As much as I love her, I had no desire sit at home each night like Kacey did mooning over Jake. I’ve had other crushes; I’ve dated and even had a few relationships.
That does not mean I ever forgot about Trip Lowell. Seeing him again after all of these years has brought all of those memories to the forefront. This kiss is over ten years in the making.
As fast as our kiss began, it ends. I’m left suddenly cold, the fire extinguished by his retreat. He’s not gone, but he’s moved backward at least three feet.
“I’m sorry,” he murmurs, lifting his hands the same way he did earlier after he startled me.
“What?” I breathe.
“You’re upset. You were crying. I didn’t mean to take advantage of that.”
My brow furrows. “You’re not.”
I take one step toward him and then another. My feet move until he’s right in front of me.
Sliding my hands up his chest, I ask, “Are you against me taking advantage of you?”
It doesn’t take him long to decide. He bends, his hands on my ass, lifting me. My legs circle his waist as I grab onto his shoulders.
His mouth plunders mine. I’m not only along for the ride, oh no, this may be my one and only opportunity to experience him.
My hands roam.
My tongue tangles with his.
My hips push forward against his very apparent hardness.
He carries me across the yard, his step sure without even looking. I’m so distracted I don’t realize where we’ve moved to until he sets my ass down on a picnic table.
He breaks our kiss to ask one final question. “You sure about this?”
I nod, my hands already at work unfastening his jeans.
“Say it,” he commands, and I oblige.
“Yes, I’m sure.”
Neither of us speaks. We both just stand there and stare at each other.

My Review:
This
was one fantastic series and wow I was sad to hear this series is ending. But
what a way to end this series with Trip and Reilly’s story. Reilly has had a major crush on Trip for a
long time while growing up. Finally when a moment in time puts them together,
things rip them asunder and Reilly wondered if she would ever find happiness.
As this story unwound and we got to read their story, I wondered if Reilly and
Trip would make a good couple and wow did this story make me totally happy when
they made this couple shine. Reilly made
Trip work hard to earn the right to get back in her good graces and boy did he.
There were twists and turns that had me hanging but the end was classic and
totally worth all they went thru. I also loved getting to revisit back with the
previous couples from book 1 & 2 and see how they are doing. This was a
fantastic way to end this book and what
a way to go. This was full of passion, sexual tension, angst, and moments of
tension that will have you biting your nails . As always , this author knows
how to keep her readers coming back for more and I cant wait to read what this
author has next!
My
Rating: 4.7 stars *****
